Linux is one of the most popular operating systems in the world today. As a result, there are a number of job opportunities in the field of Linux, which could be for writing code, or for testing, or for quality, or even for installation and trouble shooting. But given the opportunities, a large number of people have got themselves Linux ready in terms of training as well as work experience, so if you are aiming for any of those Linux jobs, you need to be pretty good, no doubt, but before that you should give a good interview so that you can get a chance to explain your skills and work experience.

The first thing to start doing when you get an interview call for one of the Linux jobs, is to read up the latest edition of a good Linux textbook. The reason for this is that Linux is an evolving operating system, and new developments could have taken place which you might not be aware of. Next, speak to someone you know who has worked on the Linux platform for a long time, so that he can give you a few tips about what kind of questions to expect. Now that you have done your preparations, let us come to the interview proper. The basics must be followed, like being well groomed, well dressed, and arriving well on time. During the interview, be on the lookout for all opportunities to showcase your past work, so that they can get an idea of the value you could bring to their company. But in case you do not have the answer to any of their questions, be quick to own up, do not try to either lie or make a wild guess.
